NUS Law Alumni Mentor Programme (LAMP)

PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE

The NUS Law Alumni Mentor Programme (LAMP) links
first and second year NUS Law students and LL.M.
students with young alumni, who can provide insights and guidance to the
practice of law. At the same time, we hope the
programme will provide an opportunity for greater
engagement with our alumni.

Mentors and Mentees will be asked to commit to the
programme for a year, with the expectation of
meeting once a semester in person. We understand of
course that our Mentors are busy people, and
meetings can take place at their offices if
appropriate. The hope is that Alumni Mentors
will provide first hand experiences and insights on
the legal profession, as well as practical guidance,
encouragement and support. Student Mentees will have
the opportunity to become better equipped to make
well-informed decisions about their professional
development.

PROGRAMME ELIGIBILITY

LAMP is open to all first and second year
students currently enrolled at the NUS Faculty
of Law. This AY18/19, the programme will be
extended to include LL.M. students who are keen to
gain an insight into the practice of law in
Singapore.

MENTOR/MENTEE EXPECTATIONS

Be available to
meet at least once a semester in person
(unless the Mentor is stationed overseas).
Semester 1 runs from August to November;
Semester 2 runs from the beginning of January to
May.

Attend planned
events, including the launch of LAMP and related
career workshops and talks.

Be open about your
experiences (be it work, education or life in
general) so that the programme can offer a
unique and realistic perspective to the practice
of law.
